CREDENTIALING
UST/AST
Petroleum storage tanks are regulated by federal and state laws. Many states require that tank workers be licensed or certified before installing, retrofitting, or decommissioning UST and/or AST systems or components.
Code Council UST/AST examinations can complement state licensing programs. In some states, individuals are required to pass state-specific examinations.
The program is used as a mandatory requirement in whole or in part by some states. It is available as a voluntary credential in several other states where there is not yet a mandatory UST or AST licensing requirement.
Anyone seeking a state or local license should first contact the appropriate licensing agency regarding specific local requirements.
Most Code Council UST/AST credentials are valid for a period of two (2) years. Individuals who wish to renew their credential for an additional two-year period must do so by taking and passing the examination again.
